ceramic bearing shaft and a bronzed liner, provides frictionless analog enjoyment.

The setup of the

Please follow the description step by step:

1.)

First take out the three black at pads out of the accessory bag. Place these at pads on your hi-rack or

another suitable base, where the nal position of your

Innovation Compact

turntable will be.

2.)

After that, take the

Innovation Compact

turntable body of the next packing layer and place the spikes of

the turntable on the at pads.

3.)

To avoid hum noises it can be necessary to ground the bearing. For that please plug in the provided ground

cable into the hole of the screw from the bearing at the bottom side of the turntable.

Innovation Compact

4.)

Remove the protective security tape from the bearing housing.

Place two drops of the synthetic bearing oil on the ceramic bearing shaft

(also available at www.analogshop.de / Art. No. AC068).

5.)

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor, mounted on the turntable chassis (picture 7: red

frame).

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and scratches.

6.)

6.1)

Take the platter with both hands (with white gloves) carefully out of the packing.

Please pay attention that the integrated bearing does not fall out of the platter!

The at side of the platter should face to the chassis and the side with the cut-out (for the record) should

face up.

6.2)

In the next step remove the lamination of the sensor on the bottom side of the platter.

Please remove the lamination extreme carefully and avoid any soiling and scratches.

6.3)

With both hands you can place the platter carefully onto the bearing.

Through a lightly (!!) up and down movement the platter will slip onto the bearing upper part (picture 8).

Pic. 7: Removing the lamination

Pic. 8: Setting up the platter

Avoid major side forces to prevent any damages to the

ceramic bearing!

To avoid any damages on your bearing, the platter should

have room temperature before the setup begin

(approx. 20 ° Celsius).

Make sure with gentle pressure that the platter is applying

on the complete surface of the bearing.

7.)

To install the tonearm and / or to mount and adjust a cartridge, please follow the user manual of the

manufacturer.

8.)

The following nal adjustment is very important:

Please ensure that your turntable rack is in a levelled position.

Please check with the delivered level gauge, if your

Innovation Compact

turntable is in a levelled position.

You can adjust each of the turntables feet to get the turntable levelled (Pic. 9).

To adjust the height, rst turn the middle part of the feet (Pic. 10 a; green arrow), then you can twist the

end part (Pic. 10 b, red frame) to the desired height.

After the adjustment, please make sure, to turn the middle part again to x the selected position.

Pic. 9: Alignment of the

turntable

9.)

Please connect the plug of the power supply with the linkage of the turntable.

After that connect the power supply with the electric power supply.

Only if the turntable is in a levelled position you will get the best results with your

Innovation Compact

turntable.

Pic. 11: Connection of power supply and motor

10.)

Place the at belt around the platter and around the motor

pulley.

By pushing the sensor-switch, marked with “33 1/3” on

the motor, the turntable starts to spin until 33 1/3 rpm is

reached.

After the initial setup we recommend to let the turntable

spin for at least 15 to 30 minutes.

This ensures a smoother break in.
